Parque Lira ‘Alice’ Show Canceled After Court Suspension

Authorities cite missing heritage and environmental permits in a case driven by neighbors seeking full public access.

Overview

  • The event organizer, Beste Templen, said it would not stage the immersive production after concluding it could not secure the required approvals or meet technical needs.
  • A Mexico City administrative court ordered a halt to all works for the show and barred any fencing that blocks public entry to the park.
  • City oversight bodies INVEA and PAOT placed suspension seals on March 25 and 26 after 11 citizen complaints about potential harm to the park’s cultural and environmental assets.
  • PAOT said the company lacked conservation approvals from the city’s heritage office and the National Institute of Anthropology and History, as well as an environmental declaration from the city environment ministry.
  • Neighbors who have held peaceful, art-led protests under the “Lira Libre” banner continue to press for the removal of fences and the full reopening of the public space.
